[QUOTE="CierraBlack, post: 734389, member: 23147"] My son struggles with depression, anger issues, sleep apnea and ADD. He does whatever he wants, and I feel helpless. I’m a single mother of 3, my oldest being my 16yo daughter, then my teenage boy who is 13 (Devin) and my youngest son who is 4. Devin doesn’t go to school. he missed 60 days last year and has been to court and was told the consequences. probation & juvie) The attorney told me that he had to go to summer school to show the judge he is resposible. He refuses to go, even though he is promised $50 for completing the course with full attendance. He tells me his stomach hurts, and when i tell him he has to go he ignores me and stays in bed. He is 200lbs. I can’t do anything to make him go. I took away his gaming console and the lock on his door and he doesn’t care. there are no punishments that he would actually care about. if i tried to do anything else, he would throw a tantrum and start screaming at me, punching the wall, and throwing things around. I know he doesn’t mean to act like that and it’s just the moment, but when he does act like that my 4yo son sees it and copy’s from him. now my toddler will scream and cry when he doesn’t get his way and even goes to the extent to throw things as well. I feel defeated, and I don’t know what else to do. [/QUOTE]
